Portland Buckaroos Documentary To Debut At March 14 Winter Hawks Game
Fans attending the Portland Winter Hawks’ Salute to the Buckaroos Saturday night will have the opportunity to purchase “Kings of the Road: The Portland Buckaroos Story”, a 40-minute documentary about the beloved team.
The movie is a comprehensive history of the Portland Buckaroos, featuring never-before-seen game footage and exclusive interviews with team founder Harry Glickman and former players Jim Hay, Don Head, Andy Hebenton, Norm Johnson and Connie Madigan. Portions of the documentary will be shown before the game and during the intermissions. The DVD will also include the audio of an entire Buckaroos game.
Fans can purchase a copy of the DVD Saturday night at the Winter Hawks team store for $19.60, with the price set in honor of the team’s inaugural 1960 season.
“This movie is a must-have for fans who grew up watching the Buckaroos, and anyone who has an interest in the history of sports in Portland,” said Portland Winter Hawks President Doug Piper. “The Buckaroos paved the way for every team that has come after them here, and this movie captures the love affair between the team and the fans in Portland.”
The movie is being produced by Filmbyframe, a production company started in 2007 by Dan Schaefer. Their first film was last year’s documentary “Mania”, a history of the Portland Trail Blazers that was selected for inclusion in the Northwest Film Festival. Filmbyframe is also in post-production on the film “Figaro”, which follows a group of singers from Kentucky to Poland to perform the opera “Marriage of Figaro”. Schaefer was also an Associate Producer on the Sony film “Deep Winter” released in 2009.
"In the process of creating my film about the Trail Blazers, I read through the history of the Buckaroos and decided that they deserved a film of their own,” said Schaefer. “With three Lester Patrick Cups and beloved players who went on to make Portland their home, this film is a must for anyone who loves the Buckaroos and hockey."
